當(dāng)今社會昌阿，小朋友們都知道恐龍是生活在6500萬年前的史前大型生物，但當(dāng)時間追溯到18-19世紀(jì)，就連最聰明的科學(xué)家對著龐大的恐龍化石都百思不得其解呢凌箕！
這幾百年間人類是如何一步步揭開恐龍神秘面紗的嗎坷牛？科學(xué)家們又為此付出了怎樣的代價呢罕偎？來，一起聽老師為我們講述“骨頭大戰(zhàn)”的故事京闰。
牛津大學(xué)的地質(zhì)學(xué)教授威廉姆·巴克蘭在1815-1822年間收集了一些恐龍化石颜及。
Here is a picture from the 1860s of a Megalosaurus fighting an Iguanadon. This shows how people thought about dinosaurs in the mid 1800s.
The picture is completely inaccurate, but I do love the expression on their faces!
The picture on the right is from a letter Mary Anning sent describing the Plesiosaur fossil that she has found. She was a skilled anatomical illustrator as well as an expert fossil hunter.

The realization that Hadrosaurus walked on two-legs astonished people. But notice that in 1868, Hadrosaurus was depicted as dragging its tail. Nowadays we think Hadrosaurus walked with its tail held upright.

這是現(xiàn)代的鴨嘴龍骨骼展示 蹂楣。
The "Bone Wars" was the competition between Marsh and Cope to see who could discover more dinosaurs.
The character "Crow" in the book is based on Theodore Cope and the character "Mannity" is based on Othniel Marsh.?
In real life it was a Plesiasaur not a Saurian, but of course this page is making is a reference to this.
Pam Conrad did a lot of research into the history of the Bone Wars, but she changed the names and the details so that she wouldn't insult the memory or Cope and Marsh, or make their families angry.
So I hope you have enjoyed this lecture. And I hope it enriches your experience of reading <>. Next week I am away, but please join me in two weeks when we continue our series on Human World History with the Natufians and the discovery of Agriculture.
下次講《發(fā)現(xiàn)農(nóng)業(yè) 》
